This is up for sale in the Sale thread but thought you'd like a look here 59cm frameset
Campagnolo Sport crankset in Chromed steel ( v rare)
Normandy hubs and rigida superchrome rims
Huret derailleur set
Weinmann brakes and pedals

Doubtful it's reynolds. In all honesty I'd remove the chainset whack on something cheap and cheerful and knock it out as a hack. Gitane are quirky French bikes and not highly desirable unless they're high end, they did make some lovely team reps etc.

Hi Tel

Catalogue says Durafort tubing, I was going to do as you suggested; a campy sport chrome crankset went for £125 last week
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250963005833? ... 126wt_1397so £220 with new cables etc leaves the buyer the option, I'll chuck in a nice clean SR Silstar with the sale if a buyer wants to go that route. trying not to part it out this time!

I think Durifort was made by the same company that made Vitus and Super Vitus tubing, so it's decent, butted (or double-butted) enough stuff. As the earlier posts say, maybe on a par with Reynolds 501?

It's true that it's not a top of the range Gitane but it's a lovely bike anyway.
